Product Description

Polyester filament yarn (PFY) is a type of synthetic yarn generally made from polyester. Polyester filament yarn is derived from petrochemical products through a process called polymerization. It is gradually used in the textile industry because of its versatility, durability, and resistance to stretching and shrinking. Polyester filament yarn comes in two main types which are partially oriented yarn (POY), mainly used as a feedstock for texture or draw texturizing to make textured yarn, and fully drawn yarn (FDY) which is ready to be woven or knitted into fabrics without further processing. Polyester filament yarn is mainly known for its high strength, excellent dimensional stability and smooth texture which makes it ideal for a wide range of applications including apparel fabrics, home furnishing, automotive interiors, and industrial uses.
